For sound recordings, "sampling" refers to the use of pre-existing sound recordings in a new sound recording (i.e., cutting and pasting an older recording into a new one.) For musical compositions, this can refer to an interpolation or reiteration of a pre-existing melody (or a copy of pre-existing lyrics.)
